1. is it 1960 again?

6. Apparently in Tipp City, Ohio

Wherever that is. I mean this man felt very comfortable making a statement like that. So I would assume he felt he would get adequate cover from the people that he represents. But I guess we will soon find out.

14. It's always 1960 in Tipp City.

It's a few miles north of me.

I mostly just drive past it on I-75, but it has a reputation for this region of being very white.

17. Sounds like the small Southern town I had the misfortune of being born in.

Damn so much of this country continues to suck.

18. There's "pockets" of those places throughout the country...

... I think.

Thankfully, there's nothing that I ever need at Tipp City.

3. Seriously they are starting to get emboldened

I mean for a State Senator to say something like that he obviously feels that he can and that there will be no consequences. Disgusting.

4. Oh for sweet Jeebus sake!

5. OMG. How can an adult human being--especially one in public life--think that this is okay?

I'm not surprised he thought it. I'm not actually surprised he said it, but I'm shocked. What a stain of a person.

7. How is anyone this fucking stupid an emergency room physician?

[tavernier]

8. On the contrary,

A great number of the black community work at jobs that require them to have their hands in water for most of the day, you piece of shit.
